Minnie Mouse made Duffy the Bear for Mickey before a voyage....

One day, as Mickey was about to set sail for one of his long adventures, Minnie thought he should have a special keepsake to remind him how much he was loved while he was out at sea. Mickey is Minnie's favorite mouse, so she gave him a teddy bear she had hand-made with her whole heart.

Minnie wrote a "Bon Voyage!" message and carefully dropped it into a small glass bottle. She gently tied the little bottle round the bear's petite neck, capped it with a cork and sealed it with a kiss for luck.

Minnie presented the bear to Mickey at the pier by the old lighthouse on a blustery day. Mickey smiled brightly, and placed the teddy lovingly into his duffel bag. "I'll call you Duffy!" And the two were off to begin a wonder-full journey.

We saw Duffy at EPCOT. Donna got LOTS of pictures with him. She wanted to bring him home with her but the children behind us in line kept saying NO, NO. So the CM told Donna she could buy one at the store right across from where Duffy was. She bought one and a German outfit for him.
